JERRY

Labrador Retriever · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Birth: 02/2017 | Height: 67cm | Weight: 40kg | Labrador Mix | Microchip No: 941000021238303 Poetic / “Letter from Jerry” Dear human, I don’t know much about the world outside the shelter. But I know what safety feels like when you look into my eyes. I know warmth when you let me lie next to you on the sofa. As a puppy, I ran terrified in the middle of the road. Only luck saved me. I was so small… and so scared. Today, I am calm and gentle. I love cuddles, sunlight, nature, life beside humans who understand me. I don’t ask for much. A little patience. A little love. A quiet, warm home. I have hip dysplasia, but it doesn’t stop me. I also had surgery for a twisted stomach and was literally saved at the last minute thanks to the vigilance and self-sacrifice of the volunteers who rushed me to the doctor. Like my brother, I have to eat very expensive, specialized clinical food and take daily supplements so that I can move comfortably and without pain. Become my virtual parent until I find my forever home. With love, Jerry PHOTO ALBUM: CLICK HERE

About JERRY

What life with JERRY looks like

JERRY is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) in Naxos.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇷Adopting from Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting JERRY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about JERRY?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw JERRY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt JERRY if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is JERRY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if JERRY isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) early rather than rehoming privately; they know JERRY and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
